when does life slow down?!

School has kept me more than busy this past week. Between my first checkpoint and the 3 exams/group project thats going on this week, I am surely feeling the effects of nursing school. So, naturally I'm spending my precious time blogging.

A few weeks ago, I saw some lace shorts on pinterest and my sweet roomie chelsea sewed some up for me!

They were a huge hit!

Also, my parents came to see me this weekend! I haven't seen them since August and probably won't again until November. We spent the weekend stocking me up on fall clothes, candles, and food. Also, my dad hung some pictures since I'm obviously not able to hang things straight. They both say I need a stud finder (for different reasons) HA.HA. Little improvements are being made to my room then I'll upload a new pic!

I love giving little "gifts" anytime I can. So, what better time than our first nursing school round of tests?! Here's the goody bags I made our little gang :)

First off, every time I plan on updating my blog, I forget my password. I mean every time. I try to make ones easy to remember then it says "too weak".. ugh!

lately:
last week mainly consisted of school and RSC rush events! Friday was barn dance and then the rest of the weekend I made the most of being lazy... I mean laying in bed ALLDAY lazy.

In other news: I am now a proud member of the '11 Nu pledge class of Raider Sisters for Christ!

For those who don't know, I rushed last year and they did the casting lots method and in the end, I didn't get my name drawn. It was a tough year, especially living with 3 girls in RSC. In the end, I decided to rush again, and I am very glad I decided to. I have such a hard time understanding God's timing but I can see that I have been placed in such a perfect pledge class this year! love my new sissies!

my "roomies" and I are all finally sistas!

so excited!

guess who forgets to blog?!

ME!!

I'll start by uploading a few select pictures from Foundation (since that's what my last post was about)

Awkward dinner: Brian stuffing a whole bag of chips in my mouth, followed by pouring water on my head!

The lovely Bess and I on the first day, reppin' our orange!

wonderful orange team flag! Thanks, Aaron!

I wanted an orange backpack but i couldn't find one, so I duct taped a cheap "Cars" backpack I got at goodwill!

Tacky prom!

Redneck Christmas!

Other than that, school has just been getting started! This will be the first "real week" of nursing school according to our schedule (minus the fact that we don't have school today). It hasn't been that bad yet, so far just some reading and quizzes but this week starts the early mornings on Fridays! Not much has been going on other than school, I'm ready to get the year started though! pinterest keeps giving me so many ideas for fall decorations, party planning, recipes and more that gets me excited for this fall! yipee!

Here's some more pictures of "lately":
